In his letter to the Colossians, the Apostle Paul explained that those who had been given new life in Christ not only had a redeemed future but also a new reality.

Instead of being confined to a hopeless world, they had an eternal hope.

Instead of being powerless against sin, they had the power to fight back.

Instead of continuing cycles of chaos, brokenness, and trauma, they could be people of peace.

Paul went on to say...

“And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.” (Col. 3:15)

With Christ, we can take off our “old self”, which is continuously being made into the image of God.

Prayer… “God, in the midst of everything that is happening in my life and in this world, I ask for Your peace to rule in my heart and life. Thank you for making Your unwavering peace available to me. Come into every area of my iife and be the focus of my mind, heart, and actions. Let me find comfort and rest in your presence. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
